Dead Mom
    Dm                Gm         Eb
I'm tired of trying to iron out my creases
      Bb               F
I'm a bunch of broken pieces
       Ab               Eb
It was you who made me whole
      Gm               Eb
Every day Dad's staring at me
          Gm          Eb
Like all "hurry up get happy

Move along

Forget about your mom"

Chorus:
      Eb
Cause Daddy's in denial
                    Gm Gm9 Gm Gm9
Daddy doesn't wanna feel
Eb
He wants me to smile
                           Gm Gm9 Gm Gm9
And clap like a performing seal
F
Ignored it for a while
                              C
But Daddy's lost his mind for real
    Eb                 F                 Bb
You won't believe the mess that we've become

Bridge: Eb

          Fm
You're my home
        Eb
My destination
             Db
And I'm your clone
             Bbm
Your strange creation
            Fm
You held my hand
              Eb
And life came easy
                Db
Now jokes don't land
           Bbm
And no one sees me
                 Fm
Nothing seems to fit
              Eb
Mamma is this it?

Are you receiving?
                    E
I want something to believe in
       D
Or I'm done

Chorus:
                          Gbm9 Gbm Gbm9 Gbm
Take me where my soul can run
   D
Or I'll be in my bedroom
                        Gbm9 Gbm Gbm9 Gbm
Wake me when I'm twenty-one
E
Daddy's moving forward
                    B
Daddy didn't lose a mom

D              E
Mamma won't you send a sign?
Gbm                 A
I'm running out of hope and time
D                  E
A plague of mice, a lightning strike
Gbm                B
Or drop a nuclear bomb
D              E
No more playing Daddy's game
     Gbm   E      A
I'll go insane if things don't change
            D                E
Whatever it takes to make him say your name
A
Dead Mom
